Segera Retreat Laikipia Kenya
Segera Retreat is a splash of green in a golden savannah. With a legacy of true Kenyan ranch life set against the cinematic grasslands that landscape the foothills of Mount Kenya, Segera has been rejuvenated into a fertile haven for conservation, community, culture, and commerce. Surrounded by a living cactus boma, the lush gardens shimmer with sunbirds and inspire with sculptures, pools, and elegant thatched villas.
– 8 Days Ultimate Kenya Flying Safari Holiday!
Segera emits creative energy and the kind of hospitality that’s reminiscent of time spent with favourite friends. It stands as a beacon for interesting minds, mavericks, art lovers, and those looking for fantastic wildlife experiences, wellness, incredible dining, and new ways to engage with Kenya’s evolving culture.
Segera’s exclusive private 50,000 acres are a sanctuary for lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, and buffalo, as well as endangered species such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Lelwel’s Hartebeest, and African wild dog. Embark on daily game drives in open-sided safari vehicles with skilled guides to seek out these species alongside classic plains game and up to 150 bird species.
Wildlife and Conservation
Witness the transformative impact of Segera’s conservation efforts, which emphasize the removal of fences, sharing information, and creating migration corridors to reestablish the land as a flourishing wildlife conservation area. The reserve is home to not only iconic African predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas, but also provides a sanctuary for extraordinary birdlife and several rare and endangered species.

Accommodation
Six beautifully appointed villas, constructed from timber and thatch, are perched above botanical life, offering stunning vistas onto Mount Kenya. Each villa is distinct, ensuring complete privacy and exclusivity for guests.
The luxurious Segera House and Villa Segera offer even greater seclusion. The main area features the Paddock House, Wine Tower, and renovated stables, replete with a bar and dining room adorned with art.
The essence of Segera is as a sanctuary to relax and indulge, whether before or after your safari. Here, wildlife is almost an incidental part of the experience, amidst the backdrop owned by Jochen Zeitz, which is deeply inspired by contemporary art and ideas.

The retreat’s commitment to families is clear, with tailored activities and educational opportunities that engaged all of us. The children are already asking when we can return.”
